Canon 350D vs Pentax KF

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon 350D and Pentax KF, both Entry-Level DSLR digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and Pentax. There exists a significant gap between the resolutions of the 350D (8MP) and KF (24MP) but they come with the exact same sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The 350D was brought out 18 years earlier than the KF and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before we go through a in-depth comparison, below is a short introduction of how the 350D matches up versus the KF in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 350D and Pentax KF. The entire galleries are available at Canon 350D Gallery and Pentax KF Gallery.

When you are planning to carry your camera often, you are going to need to consider its weight and volume. The Canon 350D has exterior dimensions of 127mm x 94mm x 64mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 2.5") and a weight of 540 grams (1.19 lbs) whilst the Pentax KF has sizing of 126mm x 93mm x 74mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 2.9") and a weight of 684 grams (1.51 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilizing during that time. Underneath is the front view measurement comparison of the 350D against the KF.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 350D and KF is 70 and 63 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing merely by reviewing specifications. The photograph here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 350D and KF.

To sum up, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Pentax KF to offer you more detail having its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older 350D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
